It seems that some Google departments don’t buy its own marketing though. In this case, Google Investor Relations seems to reject WebM. Instead, the department recommends outdated technology: “Real Player or Windows Media Player required to view webcasts or listen to audio.” FAIL.

Thankfully, the actual Google 2010 Q4 Earnings audio webcast is linked to YouTube live stream, not to those outdated technology. Definitely put it on the Google webmaster failure pile for the next annual review. Or maybe Google is merely informing investors to anticipate WebM to join those outdated technology soon?

Of course, we expect Google to update this page soon due to our report, but we’ll archive it forever, for historical purposes of course. ;)
